The NYT Best Blog List is widely considered the preeminent list of blogs everywhere. Published weekly, the list is based on weekly reader reports from independent, online search and analytics. Readership measurement includes key signals in a given week: number of readers, time spent reading, mentions, reach, and other factors believed to reflect a blog’s currency. The list includes 100 categories including popular genres such as daddy bloggers, fiction and social media.

Among the new blogs that made this week’s list are Jack Steiner (@TheJackB – daddy bloggers), John Magnet Bell (@StartYourNovel – fiction), and Christian Hollingsworth (@SmartBoyDesigns – social media).
This is thrilling news for me as I have celebrated these blogs and these bloggers for some time. I believe this recognition is well deserved and I hope this provides them with an opportunity to pursue their highest hopes and dreams.

If you’re going to dream, dream big, I say. Thanks for the shoutout, Stan. 😉
A client and friend, Florin Cosac, often says, help others dream bigger. That’s what I’m trying to do here. Did I succeed?
Stan. I surely believe that your blog is worth this list. Billy
Thank you, Billy.
Very cool, Stan! I follow all three of these blogs and have to agree with this list. Do you have a link to the list?
I agree with Billy. I’m sure we will be seeing your name there soon, Stan!
I would be even more pleased to see you (Carolyn) and Billy decorated gloriously – more than my own decoration. You are both so wonderful.
Stan, aloha. Thanks so much for letting me know that CONGRATULATIONS are in order for these three terrific bloggers.
Each of them holds a special place in my heart and is a blog I look forward to reading.
Great selection of posts to showcase, Stan. with all they have written, it is a challenge to pick 3 favorites from each.
Aloha. Janet
You’re so right about that, Janet. It’s hard to pick three posts as these bloggers write so well and so often. And I would be hard pressed to pick three of yours! You’ve written so many wonderful blog posts.
Thanks so much, Stan.
How cool is that; I know them guys too…………sweet.
I wonder if they will be able to spend all that money?
I bet you and DB could help them figure how to spend the loot!
Got to love the dreamer and the dreams. Very cool.
Declare it and share it! You can do this, Jack.
Wow. Thank you for sharing this post, Stan. You are a true hero and friend in my mind. A great support. I appreciate you.
And now, where do I see this listing? I had no idea! lol
